The property enjoys a tranquil setting surrounded by open farmland while remaining conveniently placed for access to local villages and the coast.

The nearby creekside village of Helford, set on the banks of the picturesque Helford River, is well known for its sailing club, waterside walks and traditional inn. Also close by is the small coastal hamlet of Gillan, overlooking Gillan Creek and offering access to quiet beaches and beautiful creeks leading to the Helford estuary.

The Property - Set within just under six acres of land, Higher Tregidden is a charming, non-listed period home accompanied by two attractive holiday cottages and a selection of outbuildings. The substantial former farmhouse, which faces approximately south-east, features an impressive exposed stone and granite façade and enjoys beautiful pastoral views across the surrounding countryside.

Located just below the main house are Cob Cottage and James Cottage, a pair of sympathetically converted barns that provide characterful holiday accommodation in this wonderful rural setting.
